Spotify today introduced a new feature called SongDNA. This is built right into the Now Playing view. When you get it, you’ll see a SongDNA card “on supported tracks”. If you tap this, you “can explore the writers, producers, and collaborators behind a song, see samples and interpolations that shaped its sound, and browse the covers it inspired”, Spotify says in its official press release.
You can also tap into any of those creators to discover other artists they’ve worked with, then explore their collaborators, and so on. The company says it’s “an interactive way to follow the connections between tracks and see how artists, eras, and genres intersect, giving you a deeper understanding of how what you’re listening to came together”.
The connections in SongDNA are powered by a combination of information from artists and their teams and community-sourced data. SongDNA is intended to complement existing features like About this Song, “to give listeners a deeper understanding of the music they love”. SongDNA will roll out until the end of April on iOS and Android globally for Spotify Premium subscribers.
